It has its own weather system inside, often rainy.Description: Seregal often disguises himself as 'Father Seren', a wandering Aeon Priest of the Beyond.  In this disguise, he wears the amber robes of a priest and cultivates a neatly trimmed beard, peppered with gray, and a stern and yet sympathetic demeanour.  When he appears as himself, Seregal appeares to be far more casual and relaxed and prefers to dress simple, dark, non-descript clothes and will be unshaven. Seregal has brown eyes, and olive skin. Link(s) to the Party:Reason to adventure: You believed that the task might lead to important and interesting discoveries.Pick one other PC. This character has been your adventuring partner in previous expeditions, and the two of you work so well together that you both gain +1 to any die rolls when you collaborate on the same task, fight the same foe, and so on.Background: Seregal grew up on the streets of Qi.  He stood out because of his memory and intelligence and was trained by Lantris Vyre, a con-artist, on the important arts of sneaking, robbing and deceiving people.  Lantris Vyre had been a former Aeon Priest who'd sunk to a career of confidence-games, drinking and debauchery.  From Lantris, Seregal learned to disguise himself as a Aeon Priest, as well as a smattering of numenera lore.  From an early age, Seregal spent time disguised at the local inns,  listening to the tales of pilgrims, scholars and travellers.  He wanted to be a great explorer, adventurer and scholar of the numenera.  Most of the money Seregal earned was drunk away by Lantris, and the older man laughed when Seregal said that he wanted education.  As an explorer, Seregal quickly learned his way through Qi's sewers, and established the best routes underground.  He would use these to evade capture by the authorities and to bypass rival gangs and those who were trying to track down Lantris Vyre, because he owed a lot of people money.  One day when Seregal was returning from a job, he saw that a strange gang of black-clad individuals, lead by a bald man with a red armband and strange flower tattoo, had broken into the dilapidated flat he shared with Lantris.  The bald man had a knife to Lantris's throat, and to Seregal's horror, his mentor's throat was cut while he watched.Seregal turned and ran, but accidentally knocked over a bucket.  The strange man saw him and ordered his men to give chase.  Seregal dove into the sewers and lost the gang, but then decided that it would be a good idea to leave Qi. Eventually, Seregal journeyed to the Beyond, where he cultivated his disguise as Father Seren, an Aeon Priest.  Exploring and studying the numenera remained Seregal's driving motivations, and he found that people were more likely to let him study their artefacts and ancient technologies if he maintained his disguise.  He's quite happy with his drifting lifestyle, but would still like to make a great discovery.Seregal has always been curious about the Augurs and the Clock of Kala. He recently met with a deranged old beggar who claimed to once be a famous treasure hunter, now fallen on hard times. The old beggar had a map detailing an expedition he'd once taken into Augur-Kala, allegedly indicating ruins from one of the previous worlds.  Seregal was able to convince the old man to part with the map, and now he's heading off on his own expedition to see what lies beyond Norou.</blockquote>
